•Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
Zest of 2 oranges
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
2-3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
Zest of 1 orange
1 cup powdered sugar
•Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing and flouring it or lining it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they become frothy. Gradually add the vegetable oil while continuing to beat.
Mix in the orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract into the egg mixture.
Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of orange juice until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more orange juice if necessary.
Stir in the orange zest.
Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top.
